Meet Empower Dental Altadena
One Office for Checkups, Implants, and Smile Makeovers
Empower Dental Altadena brings the full Empower Dental Group model to the foothills, so neighbors from Christmas Tree Lane, the Lake Avenue corridor, and the streets near Eaton Canyon can handle routine checkups and complex treatment under one roof. Our doctors work as Super GPs, which means the dentist who examines your teeth can carry your case all the way to the final visit instead of sending you across town for each step.
That continuity matters most when a plan has several parts. Someone who needs a cleaning this year may need a crown later or an implant down the road, and keeping that history with one team in many cases makes each decision simpler. Explore our dental services in Altadena, from general dentistry and dental implants to sedation dentistry for patients who feel nervous in the chair.
Our team speaks English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Armenian, so you can talk through options in the language you are most comfortable with. We also hold time for same-day emergency care when a toothache or broken tooth cannot wait.

Technology Behind Your Altadena Dental Visit
Tools That Shorten Visits and Sharpen Diagnosis
Modern equipment changes how a visit feels. At our Altadena office, digital imaging and AI-assisted X-ray review help our doctors catch small problems early, while chairside milling and our in-house MD3 Lab can cut down on the waiting that usually sits between appointments. Ask about any of these tools when you come in, and we will explain how they apply to your care.
Same-Day CEREC Restorations
A cracked or worn tooth often needs a crown, and the traditional route means a temporary cap and a second appointment. CEREC lets our team scan the tooth, design the restoration on screen, and mill a ceramic crown in the office, so in many cases you leave with the final crown the same day.
3D Scans Instead of Putty Impressions
If you dread trays of putty, digital scanning is a welcome change. A small wand captures a detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite in a few minutes, and that model guides crowns, bridges, and implant planning with an accuracy that may reduce remakes and chairside adjustments.
Preview Your Smile With Digital Smile Design
Before any cosmetic work begins, Digital Smile Design combines photos, video, and scans to map how veneers, bonding, or crowns could change your smile. You can see a proposed result, ask for changes, and approve the plan with a clear picture of where treatment is headed.
Questions About Our Altadena Dental Office
Where is your Altadena office?
Please call (626) 702-3132 for directions to our Altadena office.
Which neighborhoods does Empower Dental Altadena serve?

Lake Avenue, Fair Oaks Avenue, and the 210 freeway are the main routes most people use to reach us.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept all PPO plans in network, along with HSA and FSA. We are not accepting Medi-Cal patients at this time. Our team is happy to review your PPO benefits before your first appointment so you know what to expect.
Can I get same-day help for a dental emergency?
Yes. We keep time open for same-day emergency care, such as a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a lost filling or crown. Call as early in the day as you can so our team can find a time that works.
What languages does your team speak?
Our team speaks English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Armenian. Many patients find it easier to ask questions and weigh treatment options when they can do it in their first language.
What sedation options are available for anxious patients?
Depending on your health and the procedure, options may include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. Your dentist will review your medical history and help you choose the level of sedation that fits the visit.
How do I pay for treatment that insurance does not cover?
Flexible financing options are available, and our team can walk you through them. We can also show you how your HSA or FSA funds may apply to your care.
What happens during a first visit?
A first visit usually includes an exam, digital X-rays or 3D scans, and a conversation about your goals. Our doctors use AI-assisted X-ray review to help spot early changes, then walk you through any recommended care and the order it may happen in.
For general tips on brushing, flossing, and diet between checkups, the American Dental Association offers helpful guides on MouthHealthy. When you are ready to schedule, call Empower Dental Altadena at (626) 702-3132 and our team will help you find a time.
